RS-232 Baud Rate Change - cont’d.

All baud rates are entered as hex numbers. To determine the decimal divisor use the following formula. The decimal number must be converted to hexadecimal before entering the number into byte 6 and 7. Baud rates faster than 57,600 are not supported.

UART clock = 7,372,800 Hz

Decimal Divisor = Clock frequency (7,372,800)

Baud output x 16

If you want a baud rate output of 300 baud:

Decimal Divisor = 7,372,800 300 x 16

Decimal Divisor = 1536 = 600 hex

Baud 1= 00

Baud 2= 06

Programming a baud rate change to 300 baud, 1 stop bit, 8 bit data, no parity.
